  • Linings of this prior art type are very effective but they are expensive and time consuming to install.
  • the present invention provides a tunnel lining which is much less expensive and time consuming to install than the prior art metal linersand which when installed, may form the final inner surface without need to pour an inner concrete liner.
  • each segment is also provided with a recess along each inner edge which combines with a like recess of the next adjacent segment to form a caulking or sealing groove into which high pressure caulking or sealing materials may be placed.
  • Coil anchors are preferably provided adjacent the edges receiving bolts to hold temporary brackets in place during liner installation and to carry a spreader or erector arm for installing the segments in place.
  • the trapezoidal segments may be of reenforced concrete, reenforced resins (e.g., fiberglass reenforced polyester, etc.), or any other preformed material of sufficient size and strength.
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the tunnel liner of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an end elevational view of one embodiment of tunnel liner using temporary guide brackets for placement
  • FIG. 4 is a section on the line IV-IV of FIG. 2;
  • FIG, 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of a joint of the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4;
  • FIG. 6 is an end elevational view of a second embodiment of tunnel liner using temporary guide plates for placement
  • FIG. 7 is a section on the line VlI-VII of FIG. 6.
  • Each segment is also provided adjacent its end edges and side edges with coil anchors 20 embedded in the segment to receive bolts 21 for fastening temporary brackets 22 and 23 in place on the segment.
  • the brackets 22 are pressed steel brackets of arcuate shape having a depending radial flange 24 through which bolts 25 may be inserted for aligning the segments and drawing-them together during installation. The bolts 25 and brackets 22 are removed from the final lining.
  • brackets 23 are provided with a radial flange through which bolts 26 may be inserted for aligning and drawing adjacent segments of side by side annuli together. Again bolts 26 and brackets 23 are removed from the final lining.
  • the sealant 19 is the same elastomeric substance 14 with which edges 15 and 16 are coated. Grout is inserted through openings in each segment into the area between the liner and bore hole.
  • the liner of this invention is easily and simply installed and that when installed it provides a finished lining which is sealed against penetration of moisture which was proven by tests, thus solving most of the very serious problems of the tunnel lining art when first installing a primary lining to be followed by a second finishing lining.
  • a tunnel liner comprising a plurality of successive side by side non-metallic annuli, said annuli formed from a plurality of pairs of precast arcuate isosceles trapezoidal segments of substantially equal size and shape and thickness and with all side edges of like generally flat configuration, the pairs of trapezoidal segments arranged in each annulus to form a parallelogram, recessed anchor means embedded in each segment adjacent each edge removably receiving brackets for drawing said segments together and sealing means between each segment of each annulus whereby a finished sealed lining is provided in one step of lining installation.
  • each segment is provided with a peripheral recess formed along each inner edge and cooperating with like recesses of adjacent segments to form a groove, and a high pressure sealant filling said groove.
  • each segment is provided with a peripheral recess formed along each inner edge and cooperating with like recesses of adjacent segments to form a groove, and a high pressure sealant filling said groove.
  • each segment is provided with anchor means adjacent each edge, said anchor means removably carrying segment guide plates for guiding segments into position during installation.
